@CodeBiene said in Perl folding fails on comment with right curley brace "#}":

So it has nothing to do with the fact that there are several consecutive comment lines.

I agree that It is something that has not been mentioned yet.

The hexadecimal 3FF displayed in the margin is negative folding caused by unbalanced braces.

perl_fold4.gif

2 frames alternate every 4 seconds displaying the default lexer property value of

fold.perl.comment.explicit=1

and the changed value of

fold.perl.comment.explicit=0

Comment explicit enabled for the lexer is usually the leading comment character(s) followed with a brace. Perl comment explicit is #{ as a open fold and #} as a close fold.

Notice the line with #} { shows fold flags of 402 401 which means it is closing a fold. The next frame with that same line shows fold flags as 402 402 which means that there is no change in the folding state.

The Ctrl+Q key sequence changes } { to # } { which is not recognized as a fold by comment explicit as to the space after the # symbol.

PythonScript can be used to disable the comment explicit option which is enabled with the value of 1 by default:

editor.setProperty('fold.perl.comment.explicit', 0)

This setting will not survive changing buffers so may need a callback to be setup.

@Alan-Kilborn ,
Thanks to you, (grumble :) ) I’ve started checking out the YT videos by Chris Amit to check out some of the other things NPP and Plugins do that I’ve not been using and already have enabled 3 more plugins. ::sigh:: Ignorance was bliss, now that I’ve eaten the apple, like Adam, I’m screwed. :)

@mattesh ,

I’ll put it there little later

I actually already pointed it out to Don here, and he has tagged wingup 5.2.8. He has incorporated that new wingup into Notepad++ v8.6.3-RC2

seems that this fix might even not be enough for some use cases

If you find a use case that isn’t covered by wingup 5.2.8, you will have to create a new wingup issue. A fix for a new issue (likely) won’t make it into the final Notepad++ v8.6.3 release, but it should make it eventually (assuming he is able to come up with a fix).

@big_guitar
If you’re using JsonTools 4.4, you should upgrade to v6.1.1 or v7 even if it’s not responsible for your problem (and I seriously doubt it is).

@PeterJones
OK. I get the picture now. Although notepad++ has many features - great editing and the ability to run external programs - it lacks the ability to handle projects properly.

The ability to have $(CURRENT_PROJECT_FILE) and $(CURRENT_PROJECT_NAME) is all it would take.

Although notepad++ is my editor of choice I will just have to ‘bite the bullet’ and carry on as I currently do. I manually create a file containing the file list and compile that.

I can currently do what I require by creating the panel information file in my data directory with the extension npp then looking for this file in the current addressed directory. Only one project/directory allowed.

@guy038 said in Improved version of the "Summary" feature, ...:

what do you think of ?

I wouldn’t bother trying to rename things at this point.
It’s no problem simply because I was confused (that’s MY problem). :-)
Carry on… :-)

@SoCu said in Full line selection and keyboard shortcut:

you can see that with each update you have to reconfigure everything that has been changed, I think this would not have to be changing with each update.

No, that’s not true.
However, if the author of Notepad++ “adjusts” keycombos for a new release (there’s been some mumbo jumbo with Ctrl+c lately), then you might have to.

Fixed in https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/76cfc5945ecf1bebabb52a032572ec7f6b7b6029

@Somnath-Shinde Please follow the debug steps outlined by @PeterJones at https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/21450/windows-11/11

@PeterJones Legit, you the man.

There were many styles I was missing so I’ve updated my styles.xml with them all now.

Thanks.

@PiotrMP006

I don’t believe it can be done by Notepad++ itself.

If by “next to” you mean “to the right of”, then the following PythonScript script can do it:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from Npp import * curr_view = notepad.getCurrentView() total_tabs_in_view = 0 for (pathname, buffer_id, index, view) in notepad.getFiles(): if view == curr_view: total_tabs_in_view += 1 curr_tab_index = notepad.getCurrentDocIndex(curr_view) notepad.new() for __ in range(total_tabs_in_view - curr_tab_index - 1): notepad.menuCommand(MENUCOMMAND.VIEW_TAB_MOVEBACKWARD)

@Merci-chao

It’s somewhat of a frequently-requested feature; see HERE for one such request, with some links to others.

@Diego-Raguindin This worked perfectly ¡Gracias!

A similar issue was reported recently that turned out to be a faulty graphics driver (or a lemon PC, as suggested by the closing comment): https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/14581

@Terry-R said in Can't report bug on Github:

it might be a plug-in.

@gerdb42’s observation applies to plugins as well. A Windows DLL does not execute in kernel mode (as drivers do). Unless the plugin is directly interfacing with a driver, it would not be able to crash the OS.

@Ron-Tarrant-1
It’s okay. I found the answer on Stackoverflow. In case someone else comes looking for this, here’s the entire script (note the ‘-u’ arg after ‘py’):

NPP_SAVE cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)" cmd.exe /c py -u "$(FILE_NAME)"

Thanks again for all the help.

@Stefan-Ozminski said in Hazardous blank operations operate on whole file when no selected text, need to evolve safer approach:

think the most unusual thing needed to make this last approach work would be to leave the menu open when “Require selected text for operation” or “Allow operation without selected text” is clicked

Hmm, that is a good point and I’d need think about if it’s possible without a lot of code within Notepad++. One of the things Windows offers to all applications is the availability to define menus. The part where the user can pull down a menu, select sub-menus, etc. is handled by Windows. When a menu option is selected Windows closes the menu, parent menu, etc. and then tells the application that someone has selected a menu item and which one it was. Menus and sub-menus are handled as separate “windows” that are layered on top of the application.

It’s possible for applications to to define what they call window message handlers. Custom window message handlers for the menu “windows” are not very common meaning there will be few good examples to use, particularly for something unusual such as keeping a holding a menu open while flags get enabled/disabled.

I renew my thanks to all you : my last request !
My file at the end seem like this ;
( usually is 10 or 11 rows total ,and I want to save only the 8th row from the end )
